There are lots more videos available, just check! :)

Yeahhh These videos are definitely very helpfull for me :))
Thank you very much.
It is interesting for me, becouse, I never used before, the pastels in this way (only for drawing).
Can you tell me...what kind of varnish do you use, during your paint job?
It is acrylic right ?
In one of the videos, the lady is showing two diferent varnishes.. what is Crystal clear varnish ?
I mean, for what she need it ?
Thank you again for the videos Shanti

You are welcome, hope this helped!
I am working with a matt sealer, it is an acrylic based spray. It needs to be matt, not glossy of course because the next layer of pastels wouldn't stick to a glossy finish.
As I understand many artists using different kind of sealer. The glossy style sealer is to protect the previous layers because glossy sealer is more durable than matt sealer.
The tricky part is not to rub off the previous layer with a hard brush or rubbing too hard on the surface. For painting with pastels you need patience. In between the horse might look very ugly but this will change with more layers. Just go on with a slightly darker color every time, don't rush from white to black, if you know what I mean.. And ALWAYS wear a dust mask!! Pastel dust will go everywhere and of course - you will inhale it!!

:))) Thank you again.
Yeah, I know what you mean :) Also i saw this on the videos :)
This information is very helpfull. Thank you very much :)

Thank you for the link Shanti, I very much enjoyed drooling over such a gorgeous model

The foal needed to be packed to go back to his mother but it was not amused!

I know, I know. It's just the masks are always so uncomfortable that I don't bother.

Sorry for the long silence but I did not have much time to spare with my hobby lately..

But I finished a Collecta Percheron Mare, hope you like her! Critique always welcome!

Do you have an apple for me?

Shanti, I just picked up my jaw from the floor

This is simply incredible, - I don't know what to say, - that horse is not a model, - it is alive

This model is in a class of horse repaints that I have never, ever seen NEAR it ! Holy Hamster ! WOW

Oh wow! She is stunning! I think you did an amazing job with the dappling, and especially with the leg markings! I really like the first photo too :)

One more jaw droped on the floor...after Susanne`s one
You made this beautiful model (which I already love) a real jewell !
Shanti, amazing work !
I love the colors..details...and of course your great photos

OOOH! So nice!
She has a lovely subtle coat.
It suits her very well.

Ditto what Susanne et al. have said (picking my jaw up off the floor also)
I think it's the hooves that REALLY capture me, but you have an amazing touch with the dappling and how greying progresses.
After seeing masterpieces like this, I'm afraid to paint any horses myself! They would look so sad.

LOOK at that dapple grey! Incredible!!

Thank you so much friends, you really made my day!!!
I hope you all recovered from you jaw-dropping-experience!

But please, don't  afraid to paint a horse yourself @pipsxlch!!! I have seen many many repaints much better than mine but they are always a challenge and inspiration for me! :)
